If you have been saving for the Passant long wallet from Hermès I just covered a couple of days ago, here’s something else for you to lust over. Also by Hermes but I’m thinking it’s something that hasn’t quite hit our shores yet, here’s the Curiosite Leather Bracelet Cuff, a new addition to the French luxury house’s repertoire of leather jewellery.

So what’s so different about this one? Well, to be honest, not much really, save for the addition of the hanging charms that come with each bracelet. One’s a horn, the other, a lantern (is there some hidden meaning here?) that I’m assuming can be removed as and when you like. Made of palladium-plated hardware for the ones in ‘silver’, to permabrass for the ones in ‘gold’, the charms aren’t tiny tiny either; they average about 3.5 cm in length, which is quite substantial to say the least.

Besides Epsom calfskin, you’ll also find the Curiosite in Barenia calfskin, which I’ve placed together side by side for easy comparison. I’m biased towards Epsom (shown right), but for those who prefer their leather cuffs lush and smooth, Barenia (shown left) is the one for you. Now for the prices. They are retailing for USD715 for the ones that come with two charms, and just USD570 for the ones that come with a single charm, which will be the one which comes with the lantern. It also looks to come in only a single size, and once I get any more information, there will be more updates.

Whether you’re a plexi kind of girl or leather, look no further! Valentino has you covered – or cuffed, really. This is the easiest way to update your summer wardrobe without spending a fortune. Just throw one on, and every outfit will seem new…

Rockstud Cuff: A studded leather cuff may not exactly be a new concept, but it certainly feels that way with this luxe Rockstud clasp.

Wide Striped Rockstud Cuff: If you like your bracelets with a little more adjustability than plexi, go with leather. This bracelet is just as colorful as its counterpart, and even offers a sprinkling of Rockstuds.

Rockstud Cuff: Though an army green cuff doesn’t exactly scream summer, its neutral hue promises wearability with essentially everything, a great feature if you’re the kind of person who keeps her signature jewelry on all the time.
